IV

We cover thee, sweet face.
  Not that we tire of thee,
But that thyself fatigue of us;
  Remember, as thou flee,
We follow thee until
  Thou notice us no more,
And then, reluctant, turn away
  To con thee o’er and o’er,
And blame the scanty love
  We were content to show,
Augmented, sweet, a hundred fold
  If thou would’st take it now.
